It works down to 0.7V.
The LEDs (colours don't mix) may have an alternate connection to +ve with the
cathodes.
The current is dependant on the bias resistor, not from the number of the LED
(tested with 1 & 3). 1 kilo-Ohm let flow 30 mA. More light will give a low ohm
transistor, but not much.
The transformer was built from a choke coil with a ferrite core like dumb-bells
(thats was my Dictionary says |-| ). The 40 turns for the collector filled it
half, the other half was for the basis-turns, the wire was thinner.
The fly-back generator is not optimized, you can experiment with core, turns &
thickness of wire, or use a better transistor with more gain & more current.
Also with the resistor & capacitor. I found the items in a box down in the dark
of my work-bench. I replaced 2 of 3 cells of my lantern, & now it can swim,
I dont have to dive to the ground to get back when it fall out of the boat...

White LEDs are about 3V hence the voltage step up circuit needed from 1 or 2
nicad cells. But you would not want to put one on top of a pole holding up HF
Rx ant due to the possable small level QRM!
For automated garden lights..

The photocell is quite conductive in no light & turns on the PNP, this alows
bias current flow to start up the inverter.
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
